Neel Patel Advanced Composition Mr. Blakeslee 3/13/2023 Destino and Hunger Games How can a short film about love, where a woman gives up her human status just so her love can be a human, closely relate to a game where people put their lives on the line? The movie Destino closely relates to the Hunger Games book in many facets. Both of these provide examples about how love is a powerful force that can lead to sacrifice. In the Hunger Games, there are three main examples of how Katniss will do what she sees necessary for her loved ones while showing two different types of love. Katniss does this by stepping-in for her sister and putting her own life on the line when her sister is picked to fight. She also displays a selfless act of love …show more content…

Katniss notices that Peeta is put in a different group from her. At this moment, Katniss decides that she will try to eliminate the others in Peeta’s group, instead of just simply killing them all. She does this by sneaking around them, avoiding their traps, and cleverly killing them one by one. This causes Peeta to be by himself, which leads to them joining forces later on. Katniss not killing Peete just because he is with her enemies relates to Destino by showing how love helped the woman overcome a hard task. In Destino, the woman sees her love in the ruins and reaches to him; however, when her foot touches the ground, it causes the sand to collapse which makes it much harder for her to reach him. This symbolizes how often when one is chasing love, obstacles can get in the way.Looking at how Katniss did not kill her love when she could have very easily killed him and his allies at the time, and how the woman in Destino overcame the challenges that she faced to get to her love, audiences can see how love can help us overcome challenges that we may be faced
